FORMER United States president Barack Obama was in Johannesburg last week to honour the late Nelson Mandela. Mandela, who would have been 100 if he were still alive, embodied what diversity is all about. His commitment to uniting his country despite its history of apartheid and racial hatred was legendary.

He dreamt of a united South Africa, which he labelled “a rainbow nation”, a phrase initially coined by Archbishop Desmond Tutu.
